I was told it's mileage based the last time it was serviced. Mine's well out of kilter with the mileage schedule as the first 2 or 3 were done on time, rather than miles.

Mine counts down either 6 months (in days) or 12.000 Km from the last dealer reset.
At 30 days due it shows remaining days at startup on the display. I've never clocked up enough Km's to see the distance countdown.
It can even be switched off ........
Please explain.Quote:

The CAN-Mate SRT allows you to reset the Service Interval Indicator in your vehicle. This is a requirement on the Land Rover service check sheet that needs to be completed on every service, if your Warranty/Service History is to be kept current.
When you have finished servicing your vehicle, without the CAN-Mate SRT you will still have to go a Main Dealer or an independent specialist who has equipment like our Faultmate MSV-2 to have them reset the Service Interval Indicator for you. Of course, they will want some of your money that you have saved by doing your own service.
Alternately, you may be a person who prefers not to get their hands dirty but also doesn�t want to pay exorbitant Main Dealer prices. This is especially true when you have a small garage down the road that is more than capable of doing basic servicing, but doesn�t have access to full diagnostic equipment needed to reset the Service Interval Indicator. Therefore you can hand him your CAN-Mate SRT to allow him to complete your service to full Land Rover Specifications.
The CAN-Mate is a tool that is required for the following vehicles only:
- Discovery 3/LR3
- Range Rover Sport
- Freelander 2
- Range Rover L322 - up to MY2009 (Jaguar engine fitted only, not required for BMW)
To reset your service interval, select one the sixteen possible service intervals on the CAN-Mate SRT - a table is in the User Guide. Then simply plug it into the OBD Connector and it resets the Service Interval Indicator for you. No fuss, no palaver and more importantly, no garage fees just for two minutes work.
With intelligent use of a high intensity flashing LED, the CAN-Mate SRT will inform the user that the Service Interval reminder has been reset, or if there has been a communication error - in which case it will then also tell you the cause of that error.
When you use the CAN-Mate SRT for the first time on your vehicle, it will lock itself to your Vehicle�s VIN. This will actually help you in two ways. It is a theft deterrent as there is no point in stealing your CAN-Mate SRT.
I did have a copy of the dozen or so settings , but can't find it now .............. sorry .
Below is the best detailed explanation of the setting of the Service Interval Indicator. It is taken from the Faultmate /BBS link below. My experience is that the setting of such is not fully understood by some dealer service people, (for good reason), and when odd messages show, the explanation is that the reset "did not take". As explained in an above post, with the Faultmate, you can do it yourself. Also it seems not all vehicles have all the features mentioned below, depending upon how the CCF is set up.Quote:

From the link below, choose Coverage Lists and then Discovery 3 - LR3 and then click on the link line that appears at the bottom of the text box.

Service Interval Indicator Settings
The Instrument Pack performs a function called the Service Interval Indicator (SII) which can be used to remind the vehicle owner / driver when the vehicle requires a service or inspection. To accomplish this, The instrument Pack holds a count of days elapsed, distance travelled and fuel used, when the vehicle had its "Last Service Reset", It then keeps a "since last service reset" count on all three of these values and should any of them exceed their allowed values, it will issue a service due reminder. This reminder can also be triggered to occur early.
A service reset event consists of taking the three "since last service reset" values, which are then be zeroed at the same time as adding their values onto the stored "last Service Reset" values. For convenience we have separated the page into sections based on Time, Distance, Fuel usage and General. The Section for Distance is based on Km which is the unit the system uses but for convenience we have also provided and additional set of Miles values which is totally derived from it's identical Km counterpart values in the previous set. All manipulation of values must be done in the KM values, and so all miles values are read only. For reference, to convert Miles to Km the Miles figure needs to be divided by.6214 and for Km to Miles, the Km figure multiplied by .6214.
Reset service interval can be done by manipulating the data in the settings page, or by selecting the function in Other. This function will use the default values and automatically calculate the days and mileage.<.br>
- Settings For Service Interval Indicator Related to Time in Days
- Total Current Day Count: This is the number of days that have elapsed in total from a fixed start reference point (Like the Odometer, but for days). This value cannot be edited because it is produced from adding together the Day Count at Last Service Reset and the Elapsed Days Since Last Service Reset Values.
- Day Count at Last Service Reset: This is the number of days from a fixed start reference point (Like the Odometer, but for days) that had elapsed when the SII was last reset. It is used as a starting point for all calculations of the next interval reminder based on an elapsed number of days. On a service reset this value is set to a new value made up from adding it's currently shown value to the Elapsed Days Since Last Service Reset, which will be zeroed at the same time.
- Days Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder: This is the amount of days that can pass before the next service required warning is triggered due to time passed. The warning may trigger earlier by the amount of Days set in Early Reminder Days. This value is usually set to a fixed number of days, for example 365 days. If the period is exceeded without a reset of the SII values, this value will start to increment, simply adding the additional days on.
- Elapsed Days Since Last Service Reset: This is a count of the amount of days that have elapsed since the last service reset. To perform a service reset, this value is reset to zero at the same time as it is added onto the Day Count at Last Service Reset Value.
- Days Remaining Before Next Service Due Reminder: This is the number of days that remain before a service would be due based on the Days Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder having elapsed since the last service reset. It cannot be edited here because it is based on the Elapsed Days Since Last Service Reset value being deducted from Days Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder value.
- Early Reminder Days: The number of days before a time elapsed based service reminder event occurs that the driver will be given an early reminder for. An early reminder event will only occur if the Early Warnings, setting is enabled. This value is typically always set to 30.
- Days Remaining Before Early Service Due Reminder: This is the number of days that remain before a time elapsed based service reminder event will occur. An early reminder event will only occur if the Early Warnings, setting is enabled. This setting cannot be edited as it is calculated from deducting the Early Reminder Days from the Days Remaining Before Next Service Due Reminder.
Settings For Service Interval Indicator Related to Distance in Km.- Total Current Odometer Value: This is the current odometer value stored in the Instrument pack which is actually stored in Kilometre increments, even if it is displayed in miles. This value may vary slightly from the value shown on the Instrument Packs own display due to the odometer offset value. (the bit the dealers can hide on delivery). This value is read only and so cannot be altered
- Odometer Count at Last Service Reset: The odometer value when the last service reset was performed. It is used as a starting point for all calculations of the next interval reminder based on distance travelled. On a reset this value will need to be set to match the Total Current Odometer Value. The stored value is actually divided by 100 Km which is re padded with "00" on read and display, so any amount entered below that will be lost.
- Distance Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder: This value is taken directly from the Instrument Packs CCF file which can only be altered using the CCF edit feature.
- Distance Travelled Since Last Service Reset: This is a count of the distance travelled since the last service reset.
- Distance Remaining Before Next Service Due Reminder: This is the distance remaining before a service would be due based on the Distance Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder having been exceeded since the last service reset. It cannot be edited here because it is based on the Distance Travelled Since Last Service Reset value being deducted from Distance Allowed Before Next Service Due Reminder value.
- Early Reminder Distance: The distance before a distance based service reminder event occurs that the driver will be given an early reminder for. An early reminder event will only occur if the Early Warnings, setting is enabled. This value is typically always set to 40.
- Distance Remaining Before Early Service Due Reminder: This is the distance that remains before a distance based service reminder event will occur. An early reminder event will only occur if the Early Warnings, setting is enabled. This setting cannot be edited as it is calculated from deducting the Early Reminder Distance from the Distance Remaining Before Next Service Due Reminder.
Settings For Service Interval Indicator Related to Fuel Consumption in litres.- Last Service Reset Fuel Consumption: The Total Litre count when the last service reset was performed. It is used as a starting point for all calculations of the next interval reminder based on Fuel usage. On a reset this value would typically need to be set to its current value plus the Fuel consumed Since Last Service Reset which will be zeroed at the same time. It has been noted however that this value seems to be kept at zero, which may be indicative of it not being used as a "from the very start" type reference.
- Fuel Usage Allowed Before Next Service Reset Due Reminder: This is the total amount of litres of fuel that can be consumed before the next service due reminder event is triggered due to over limit for fuel usage. It is only relevant when the fuel usage feature of the SII is used. This value is taken directly from the Instrument Packs CCF file which can only be altered using the CCF edit feature.
- Fuel Consumed Since Last Service Reset: This is a count value showing the amount of litres of fuel that have been used since last service reset was performed. To perform a service reset, this value is reset to zero at the same time as it is added onto the Last Service Reset Fuel Consumption Value.
General Settings For Service Interval Indicator.- Last service type: Shows if the last service type was an Oil Change, Inspection or Periodic.
- Early Warnings: Indicates if the service interval early warning function is enabled or disabled.
- Periodic inspection display: Indicates if the periodic inspection display Driver alert function is enabled or disabled. When enabled the Driver will briefly be reminded of the day values leading towards a service reminder alert at every ign on.
- Remaining distance display: Indicates if the remaining distance display Driver alert function is enabled or disabled. When enabled the Driver will briefly be reminded of the distance values leading towards a service reminder alert at every ign on.
Interesting read. I have just bought a D3s with 205ks and apparently does not show when service is due. Is this correct? and while on the subject, where can I find what needs servicing at what intervals.
One more thing, I have a shuddering when mildly accelerating uphill for instance out of a round a bout. Any clues? Had recon auto 50ks ago but may need a service?
Thanks
Was you trans reoiled or repaired 50k ago ?

It is actually difficult to say for certain if and when you will get any service reminders as these can be set by the dealer to about any number, 30 days ahead is typical, but it could be set not to show anything. I do not know what my 3 is set at but for me, I have the dealer change oil every 6,000 km which is effectively every 3 to 4 months and have him put one of those transparent stickers up in the top corner of the windscreen as a reminder.Quote:
